How to Make Strawberry Trifle

Step 1:

Start by preparing the strawberry puree. In a food processor or blender, add the strawberries, sugar, vanilla, and sherry (optional). Pulse until you have a fine puree, then pour into a large bowl. Set it aside for later.

Step 2:

Make the cake. Cube the Angel Food Cake into 1×1-inch pieces.

Step 3:

Prepare the pudding based on package instructions. Make sure it’s enough for 6 servings.

Step 4:

Once your pudding is ready, add the cream cheese and whisk until smooth using a mixer. If clumps form, keep whisking. Fold in the thawed Cool Whip.

Step 5:

Time to assemble the dessert. Drop the cubed cake into the prepared strawberry puree and turn to coat well. Arrange each piece on the bottom of a trifle dish. Next, add a layer of the filling, then add a big amount of chopped strawberries. If you want, add a ring of sliced strawberries around the edge of the bowl for garnish.

Step 6:

Repeat the same layers until you fill the bowl. Garnish the top with more strawberries.

Step 7:

You can serve it right away or refrigerate it overnight.
